    Softshells

    I'm also an arcteryx fanboy. I have the Psiphon FL hoody softshell and am super happy with it. I think it's my most versatile piece from them out of 9. I live in TX, so it doesn't get too cold. This jacket breaths so well I can leave it on when I go inside and not get too hot, but it blocks the...

    Best Proof AI Pre-fit barrel

    Thanks, everyone, for your feedback. It seems like it's hard to go wrong. I don't see them listed any longer on Mile High's website. Anyone know of a particular hide dealer with shorter lead times?

    Rifle Scopes Kahles 3.5-18 SKMR3 initial impressions

    Yeah, it was definitely longer than I had hoped, but it's my backup scope so it doesn't affect me as much. I'm not sure if that's the standard time frame or if they're just experiencing a higher work load right now. Hopefully it's an overestimation and it gets back earlier.

    Rifle Scopes Kahles 3.5-18 SKMR3 initial impressions

    I just shipped my Minox ZP5 off to be repaired. Called Blaser and they quoted 7-9 week turn around. They've been really pleasant and easy to deal with so far. It would be nice if the turn around was faster, but it doesn't bother me too much because I expected this would be the case when I bought...

    Best Proof AI Pre-fit barrel

    Hello All, I just recently acquired an AI AX308 and am looking for a 16.5" (ish) Proof barrel for it. I've seen that there's a number of vendors/smiths out there offering them, many of which are here on the Hide. Is there any clear front runner? Has anyone seen an appreciable difference...

    Accuracy International Picture Thread

    Oddly enough, I ordered a sage green AX308 that should be here Thursday as well. I'm stoked. I've been wanting an AI for 12 years and I'm finally getting one. Now I need to find the right back pack to carry it in.

    Disappointed

    I'll be completely honest - I don't know enough about it to intelligently argue with you about the finite points of their business model. I will say that it's working based upon the user experience. I usually shop around before buying, but I always check Amazon first. Mainly because of their...

    Disappointed

    I'm not sure if that's directed toward my posts or not, but I'll respond as if it was. My main argument would be that we live in the good ol US of A and people can go find a job somewhere else. A job is a contract between an employee and employer. If the employee isn't satisfied with the...

    Rifle Scopes Do Scopes Go Bad With Age?

    I wouldn't think many of the working parts of a scope would deteriorate over time. I would be more inclined to believe that increased use would cause them to more rapidly deteriorate. I'm not necessarily knowledgeable about the inner workings of scope adjustments, but it seems to me that the...

    Disappointed

    I used to work for Bass Pro Shops. We offered a free shuttle from the nearest airport to our store. It was quite common to see people come to the store on an international layover on their way to a fishing trip. They would often buy thousands of dollars of deep sea fishing equipment only to...

    Disappointed

    Funny, I wonder how many people said the same thing about Henry Ford at the time. Greedy, dishonest man squeezing out all of the poor, hardworking people of smaller companies that failed to evolve and adapt. The assembly line cheating well-meaning small manufactures out of business. "burning...

    Excellent info. Mine would be for very similar purpose. You guys are always a class act!

    AI AX as a break down rifle?

    Thanks, everyone, for the info. Mile High, that's very similar to what I had in mind, although I was planning on cutting a few pieces of foam for a backpack. I wasn't sure if the AX could be used in a similar manner or if there was something unique to the PSR that I'm not aware of. What's tough...

    AI AX as a break down rifle?

    Good Morning, All, I was wondering if anyone has used their AIAX as a break down rifle or has made note of it's repeatability after removing and re-installing the same barrel? I searched the site and google and didn't find anything. I also dug through a few pages of the AI picture thread and...

    Rifle Scopes ARC RING HEIGHT

    I have my K318i mounted in ARC rings torqued to 53in/lb (using the fix it sticks AI torque limiter) and haven't had any issues. I had to adjust the scope after the initial mounting and it didn't cause any superficial marks. Shot it out to 1200 without issues.
